Smokey Joe Miller : [after hearing the mail plane fly over] Them there mail fellers are alright, I reckon, and they are fast. But sure, they can't hold a pack into the Pony Express, bringin' that mail through hell and high water. That was a man-sized job.
Abby : [with disdain] Huh!
Smokey Joe Miller : [glares at Abby] They ain't bothered with any bandits up there. They ain't dodgin' any Indian tomahawks, like us Pony Express riders did.
Indian Tom : Hmm. Injun up there too. My sister's boy, Charlie Angelo... he fly mail, out of Rock Spring.
Smokey Joe Miller : Tom, you old Comanche. Here's one Fargo rider you didn't massacre. 'Member the time I held off the whole bunch - single-handed.
Abby : Still bragging... ain't stopped for 50 years...
Smokey Joe Miller : Abby, I hear'd yuh. That's the thanks you get - for making California safe for the females.
Abby : Yeahhh, it's safe. Too safe. Too tame, yuh mean. It's fools like you that stops the thrills.
Smokey Joe Miller : Thrills? Who'd you ever thrill?
